Part 3: Chapter3: Fear and loathing Parapa Palace.




Chapter 3: Fear and loathing Parapa Palace.

One last update for the day to keep you fellas up to date


Downstab slowly descends the elevator to this stony little palace.

He is greeted by a walking rat of some sort. These rats don't give experience when they are killed. Rather, when they hit you, they STEAL experience

Downstab veers left.

And meets a grue. Two of them.

Vanquishing the globs, he procures a key.

With key in hand, Downstab attempts to unlock the magic gate.

To which he is successful!

Okay enough weird narration. See that flying head? It doesn't like me. It also takes a shit ton of hits to bring down, but that's what turbo controllers are for.

Skeletor descends from the ceiling! Okay, they're really called Stalfos. Been in every Zelda game I can think of.

Before we go, Downstab is hurt. Let us heal with the only fairy in the dungeon. Keep on trucking, Downstab. We're rootin' for you

I need some experience first. Let's kill one of these floaty heads.

And race across a collapsing bridge with lava underneath! Will Downstab make it without burning in the abyss? Of course. He'll grab the P-bag while he's at it.

But first, I need a key...

So I can get the candle! ( I forgot to take screenshots of Iron Knuckle here. The jump strategy works wonders, as a previous poster pointed out)

Dee-doo-doo-Dee-doo-doo-Dee! (the approximate sound made when an item is acquired)

Iron Knuckle. Every Nintendo fan has had nightmares about this guy. Seriously. He still creeps me out, mainly because of how fast he runs at you.

And here's a monster of some sorts that throws morning stars. He's not a great looker, but he does some damage.

He jumps and walks backwards often too.

Oh hey, I just another Iron Knuckle, who proceeded to drop a 200 P-bag. That pushed me over the next level, to which I bought a health level up. Score! I just regenerated my health

Wuh-oh. Those curtains...

Mean certain death! It's Horsehead McGee! He's got a mace and he's not afraid to use it Desperate times. What will Downstab do?

Cast some of that magic the old man taught him back in Rauru. Watch:

POWER UP

Downstab is unleashing his red chakra. He's a retarded Naruto.

Okay, to actually hurt this guy, you jump up and hit him in the head. Being that F9 is the only way to take screenshots of that, it's kind of hard Cool note: If Horsehead McGee hits you in the air, he'll send you flying halfway across the room. It's pretty awesome minus the "Ow it hurts" part.

Downstab DELIEVERS!

And Horsehead McGee delivers a fireworks display for his valiant efforts.

To which the climax is a key falling from the sky.

Only one thing left to do here.

Place the crystal in it's rightful spot.

And it gives you full experience to the next level. In this case, it's a sword upgrade. Kickass!

And all that remains of Parapa Palace is a little crater. Farewell, Parapa. Hope to see you again in a later game, someday, somewhere... (I'm still waiting for this day, Nintendo! )

Hay this cavern is all lit up!

Our next destination is south of Ruto.

This cave.

And we'll end there

Next update: Do you, uh, Bagu?
